Chapter 114 The Principal's Explanation
Chapter 114 The Principal's Explanation
"Oh my god! This is the mead prepared by our alchemy professor himself! It's a heavenly delicacy that can't be found anywhere else in the empire!"
The principal was so exaggerated that he couldn't help but get a roll of the eyes from Professor Lei Bu.
Everyone in Einlogard knew that Principal Skeleton was not good at praising others...
Fortunately, Professor Ingold was a kind spirit. He raised his glass and praised, "This wine is really delicious, Professor Lei Bu."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Professor Ingold was not being polite, because the wine was indeed delicious!
As we all know, excellent alchemists are often also excellent chefs or winemakers. It would be strange if this wine didn't taste good.
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased, Principal Skeleton said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry too much about the students. I had a much harder time than them back then."
"..."
"..."
You know, what Principal Skeleton called "my time" can be traced back to ancient times...
The two relatively young professors remained silent, only muttering in their hearts: Everything was difficult back then!
"Besides, there are many interesting guys among the freshmen this year. They can always overcome ordinary crises."
"You are right." Professor Ingold forced a smile and nodded.
After hearing what Principal Skeleton said, he also felt that he seemed to be a little too protective of his students. Of course, it might also be because he had drunk some wine and was easily brainwashed by the principal.
"Look, among the students who went to the mountains, the kid from the Vodana family is quite smart."
"That's true." Principal Skeleton's words were recognized by the two professors.
Ruan Xiaozhe, the student from the Vodanaz family, has attracted the attention of the three of them, which is naturally a topic worth talking about.
Seeing that the two young professors agreed with his point of view, Principal Skeleton was in a good mood.
"Yes, so don't worry too much. The child from the Vodana family I mentioned earlier can even learn the contents of my magic book by himself, and the other child can also..."
"Ok?"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, the two professors who had been drinking mead silently were stunned.
"What did you just say?"
"What did you say?" Principal Skeleton pretended not to understand.
"...You said he could learn the contents of your magic book by himself?"
Professor Ingold and Professor Lei Bu both stared at the Skull Principal in shock.
It is okay for professors to give private lessons to students. After all, the purpose of a magic school is to teach magic.
But everyone knows that there's something special about the Skeleton Principal.
From what he just said, it can be seen that this ancient crazy magician and modern professors have some differences in thinking.
Principal Skeleton realized that he had spoken out of turn, but as a magician who had survived from ancient times, he did not back down. Instead, he responded forcefully:
"As the principal, don't I have the freedom to teach students anything?"
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became unpleasant, and it was obvious that the two professors would not be easily fooled by his words.
Principal Skeleton realized that he was at a disadvantage and quickly changed the subject:
"I'm not the only one like this. Doesn't Professor Vladi Vladi also teach privately? And you, Professor Lei Bu, don't you teach students privately as well!"
Principal Skeleton was indeed very shrewd and he quickly dragged down both the professors who were absent and those who were present into the incident.
He is indeed an ancient master of magic, and not for nothing.
"No, I only teach some basic magic that first-year students should learn. Professor Freddy does the same! But you are different!"
Professor Lei Bu thought what Principal Skeleton said was ridiculous.
Although the training he asked Ruan Xiaozhe to do was tiring, it was safe.
And this skeleton principal is a guy who can teach first-grade students all kinds of complicated and strange magic.
"Professor Freddy also teaches some magic beyond the first year level. I heard that he is teaching third-ring magic."
As the Skeleton Principal pulled Lei into the water, he shifted the focus to Professor Freddy who was not present.
And, he wasn't lying.
Because some time ago, he really heard that Professor Freddy was teaching the content of three-ring magic—
"The boy from the Vodanazi family has successfully passed the training of drawing circles with iron beads."
"Really? He is indeed a genius. That kind of control cannot be achieved by a single ring of magic."
"So I have already started the next phase of training."
"What's the next stage? Water bead magic? That's second-level magic."
The difficulty of magic is determined by the number of levels. Water bead magic involves summoning water and keeping it in a spherical shape, which is a second-level magic.
"He has successfully made a ball out of water and is now training to make it go in circles."
Although Professor Frady's expression remained numb, there was a hint of approval in his voice.
"Oh! If you add control, it's almost equivalent to three-ring magic!" the principal agreed.
Of course, while the results are similar, strictly speaking this cannot be considered third-ring magic.
Three-circle magic is magic that is accomplished all at once through a single wand motion and a spell that connects all the processes together.
And something like this that is completed in steps cannot be considered true three-ring magic.
But even so, it's a remarkable achievement.
After all, once you become proficient in it, you can cast three-ring magic.
It is really amazing that a freshman can accomplish all this.
If it were any other professor, they would have been shocked, but the Skull Principal just said calmly:
"Well, that's good."
But I was thinking:
"Since Professor Freddy has taught me this way, there's nothing wrong with me teaching you something in private, right?!"
……
"What the hell is this?! Professor Vladi is Professor Vladi, and your magic is your magic!"
Professor Lei Bu certainly didn't believe Principal Skull's sweet words.
Although after listening to the principal's statement, he was somewhat skeptical whether Professor Freddy was really teaching Ruan Xiaozhe three-ring magic.
But even if it was true, he felt that Principal Skeleton's teaching method was more dangerous than Professor Freddy's!
"I really teach them safely! I only teach them magic that's appropriate for their level. I swear on my honor!"
Principal Skeleton spoke to the sky, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Forehead......"
"I said......"
"I swear on my magic!" The headmaster swore again, his tone more solemn than before.
"Ah, in that case..."
“Then we will believe it.”
Seeing that the skeleton principal swore by magic, the two professors were reluctantly relieved.
They had just suspected that the headmaster would teach some ancient magic that he himself could not understand, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
"But what kind of magic did Professor Freddy teach?" Professor Lei Bu asked curiously.
"It's a water-attributed combat magic..."
After listening to Principal Skeleton's detailed explanation, the two professors were very surprised.
Although it wasn't true three-ring magic, it was indeed unusual for a first-year student to be able to achieve this level!
This is a miracle of talent and hard work!
"I'm not a magician, so I don't quite understand. Is it common for first-year students to achieve such achievements?" Professor Ingold was a little puzzled.
As a swordsman, his understanding of magic in some aspects is indeed not as deep as that of a magician.
"Very rare! I think he has a deep connection with water. Of course, this alone is not enough, and many other talents are needed..."
Professor Lei Bu said this, as if he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said:
"Wait, I remember that Professor Vladi specializes in combat magic, right? If he continues to train this student, it will be a huge drain on the little guy's magic power and mental strength..."
"Oh, what a ruthless person." Professor Ingold became worried again.
"..."
When the principal saw him doing this again, he quickly gave Lei Bu a look.
Lei Bu understood what he meant and added hastily, "But then again, this kind of training shouldn't be a problem. After all, the difficulty of magic is already very high now, and Professor Vladi shouldn't increase it any more."
……
call out--!
"Finally finished!"
At this moment, a high-speed rotating water ball was making a sharp sound in place!
Ruan Xiaozhe raised his swollen head and looked at the clay golem.
